Polish cops bust alleged teen DDoS kit sellers – youngest just 12

Polish police have referred seven suspected juvenile cybercriminals to family court over an alleged scheme to flog DDoS kits online.

The youths, aged between 12 and 16 at the time of the alleged offenses, all face charges related to selling DDoS tools in what police described as a purely profit-driven scheme.

Poland's Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime (CBZC) said the tools they sold online were linked to various attacks on organizations.

"Using the tools they administer, popular websites such as auction and sales portals, IT domains, hosting services, and accommodation booking services were attacked," the force said in an announcement (machine translated) on Tuesday. 

The investigation began in 2025 after one of the group's leaders, aged just 14 at the time, was identified as a suspected administrator of the tools the group was allegedly selling.
